Rizal Philippines

We can practice fasting beginning today until  Saturday.  Fasting can be done for health and religious reasons.   

1.  Religious -  desayuno -  a form of penitence, sacrifice to remember the suffering of the Lord before and during the crucifixion.


2.  Health  -  fasting will rest your digestive and endocrine system for sometime

Fasting need not mean prolonged hunger and starvation.   It can mean, as the Muslimd do during the Ramadan do this from sun up to sun down.  Avoid taking in solid foods.  You can just take liquid food:   water, juice or milk.   Only for twelve hours

I usually avoid making a post on April 1, because the readers may misconstrue this as a joke (April Fools joke)

However, I came across a Q and A at the channel of a preacher who was asked about fasting and the Lenten season.

There is a medicinal and health value for fasting. The preacher said he lost weight through fasting.  He was bloated because of the steroid he took for asthma.  He fasted eating only fruit and vegetable juice.

There is health value in fasting. It enables your liver and pancreas to rest, and your body to eliminate toxin.  And helps you lose weight.

Several posts have been made by this blog about fasting.

Intermittent fasting is beneficial to your health

"Dont eat food too hot or too cold.  Hot food causes cancer of the throat.  Cold food slow down digestion."

"When  reading or looking at something, look look at the spot at the center of the vision, not at the side. Dont look ahead of the word as you read but look at the word you are reading.   To strengthen your eye, read one page with one eye, and the next page with the other one"

"Dont under exercise or overwork, balance it."

"Morning exercise, in walking in the free invigorating air of  heaven is the surest safeguard  against colds, coughs, congestion of the brain and lungs...  and a hundred other diseases."

Cleanse the bowels by drinking l/3 seawater with 2/3 hot water.  2 quarts for adults. Breathe fresh air day and night. Sweat by sauna bath or hot bath in tub increasing the heat as hot as bearable then add cold water slowly till cold."

"Fast for one or two meals, and drink only pure soft water. The loss of meal or two will enable the overburdened system to overcome slight indisposition, and even greater difficulties will be overcome by this simple process."
